Workflows: NGFW Setup

1. Activate Strata Logging Service and AIOps for NGFW Premium licenses.
   The Strata Logging Service license is required for logging and the AIOps for NGFW Premium license is required for cloud management of NGFW.
2. Create one or more folders.
   Folders are used to logically group your firewalls or deployment types for simplified configuration management.
3. Onboard a firewall to Strata Cloud Manager.
   To onboard a firewall to Strata Cloud Manager, you must configure the local Panorama settings on the firewall and associate the firewall with your Strata Cloud Manager tenant. After you're onboard, you can continue to configure the firewall general and session settings.
4. (HA only) Configure your managed firewalls in a high availability (HA) configuration if needed.
5. Create one or more snippets.
   Snippets are used to group configurations objects that are applied to folders, deployments, or individual firewalls. This eases and expedites the onboarding process by allowing you to standardize common base configurations that can be quickly applied and pushed.
6. Create your configuration objects.
   Configuration objects are building blocks for your network and policy rule configurations.
7. Create and configure the network and policy rule configuration.
8. Push configuration changes from Strata Cloud Manager to your managed firewall.
